On the cut-off wheel --- slow speed or fast. Is there any tendency of melting.

Does it make a lot of fine dust? I seem to remember reading some cautions on respiratory risks.

Steve,

I keep my RPMs around 10,000 for cutting the cowl. Yes it does make a lot of dust. I guess there are some risks, but I never use a mask. If I were doing them every day it would be a different story. I figure the one or two cowls that I do a year will not hurt me, but follow your own conscience.

Good luck,

Andy
